Some people will do anything for 15 minutes of fame.
For me -personally - the fewer that know what I do the better.

'Keep Under the Radar' is my motto.

They probably started shooting season 2 before season 1 was released..
but then again... there is still Big Brother, Survivor, etc etc
some people just want fame at any cost

Its a pretty decent show. Until being introduced to the show by a friend I really had no knowledge of "prepping". When I do eventually get all geared up I will for sure NOT want to be on national television. I enjoy seeing some people's set up and their mentality about it all. Its helping me decide how I want to set up.

Bit of a sham that - it was hard to answer for a tropical loc. I lost points due to some questions were not applicable to a tropical scenario.

On the plus side, there are some video's on that site to get people on the right track to being more prepared. There must be a lot of people who watch the show (for whatever reason) so if the producers are (in some small way) making up for their "creative processing" of the info they get from participants then that is still a good thing. Isn't it?

Nah!! - Sorry that show lost any credability with me after their 'poster-boy' put his hand, WHERE???
OVER THE END OF A BARREL of a LOADED RIFLE and later refered to his SHOT-OFF-THUMB as his 'MIDGET-DIGIT'!!!

Sorry but - That is what first timers don't need to see - the idiot side!!!

Well, I could not resist, I had to go take the test and it look according them, I am good for 16 to 20 months, but low on firearms and ammo, hmmm I also got dinged on not having a vehicle big enough for the BOL, which funny, because mine is close by and accessable by hauling, hiking in stuff by draft/human power, you could not drive in there, without a lot of work done first..
